so that if there isn't a captain, heads of staff won't have to hack into the captain's office and/or whine to the AI for help to grab the disk before the tiders get to it

it could dynamically spawn in descending head offices depending on who's available too (e.g. cap -> hop (or hos) -> hos -> etc.)

I would agree, but HoS before HoP, as HoP can still be some antag roles

If there are no heads it spawns in clown office

And if there's no clown (and mime if we care about the role enough)?

Random Assistant #24601, YOU have now been chosen to protect the nuclear authentication disk.

the problem with making its spawn location variable is that newer heads of staff might not even know that the disk CAN spawn in their office, so they'll forget to pick it up

it'd also make it harder to find the disk if the designated holder of it goes SSD at roundstart or something

you can just send them a big red message

Put the disk start location in the gamemode report from the comms console.

You could also just spawn it on the bridge. If there

You could do that, but why not cut out the middleman and have it directly spawn on the Bridge like OP suggested?

If it spawns in head offices, nukies are going to have a real easy time when the HoS gets it.

I like it spawning in the cap's quarters becasue when the heads of staff inevitability ignore my requests to secure the disk I have an excuse to be passive agressive about it and bolt the cap's quarters open for anyone to enter.

Bolting open the bridge or path to CE's office just doesn't carry the same feeling.
